He has proven to be quicker on the basketball court than point guards L.A. Tenorio and Jimmy Alapag, he's just as big and strong (if not bigger in mass and stronger overall) than the shooters we chose to brought in with Gary David, Jeffrei Chan and Larry Fonacier and has shown a knack for blitzing his way to the hoop with relative ease despite the odds.
We've seen transcendent talent like this before, the closest probably being Rain or Shine's Paul Lee and Barangay Ginebra's Mark Caguioa in their rookie years. When it's clear as day that you just have a guy who simply out-everythings everyone else on the court when he both mind and body are right. Castro is just as fast as the PBA's top point guards, as able as your big shot scorer and, as proven by him ripping the ball off future NBA Hall of Famer Chris Paul (one steal is a fluke, but twice? Nah, that takes real skills and we doubt Paul would've let his guard down so easily the 2nd time), is a solid one-on-one defender when called upon.
